Bad Matchmaking Thread

25560407

Complete dominace by the other side. 2 Guardians remaining on their side. They had the base at 15 minuets then toyed with us for the rest of the game. Worst game i have played in a long time. IMO the matchmaker is in the worst state i have seen it in a long time.

Team comps were completely unbalanced. We had 6 carries and they had 4 tanks + paradox and geist. extremely difficult to win in both lane and mid game which lead to a snowball where we literally couldn't win fights no matter how well we played. While skill levels didn't feel too different the matchmade team comps felt terrible to play around.
 
oh you did most player damage, healing and obj damage last ranked game? get ready to get fucked next game

Mostly ranked Emissary, however, it felt like the other team was worlds beyond sapphires ability level leaving us unable to make a single play that would allow us to get the upper hand or come back whatsoever.

Match was clearly unbalanced. One team was very good at farming and was clearly experienced. Bought items that boosted their specific characters well. Myself and my duo which are not in wide matchmaking had almost as much damage as our entire rest of our team combined. Our Abrams was clearly new to the game. Our Dynamo was trying his best but was underfarmed by over 15k souls at times. These are not necessarily issues alone but all together meant that by the end of the game our team was 50k souls behind. At no point was our team ever ahead in souls. We had one good teamfight but it took almost every ult we had to win it. We did mid boss but the team did not know how to capitalize on this. Hopefully this adds to the thread and some changes can be made.

Thanks so much for being cool Devs!!

I'm sick and tired of this match making. My entire ranked gameplay experience has been miserable. It feels like I already know what to expect when I queue up, it's always three players who feed and three who are just okay.

Just the last 4 games i had this morning. I went from having 60-70% winrate with Mo and Krill to litterally not be able to win any games since the new patch. I switched character and its all the same. I'm just going to stop playing until it gets fixed as the game has become not enjoyable anymore.

This represents approx. 4 hours of consecutive game time. My group has suffered loss after loss with no respite. There is no swing in the other direction, just loss on loss to the point my friends want to quit, and I don't blame them, what is the draw to come back if this is what they can expect?

What is the point of loading deadlock if the matchmaking is so poor that this is a possibility. Before anyone comes in with a "gitgud", not like I can check these days because as of 24/10 third party tracking of match rating is blocked (wonder why), tracklock.gg had me at mystic or platinum neko score fairly recently which puts us at above average... or if deadlocktracker.gg is in any way accurate I am apparently a top 1% warden and top 5% grey talon, yet here I am now with a negative win rate and spending an entire night being miserable to the point of leaving this shit game forever.

This is now intolerable! What is happening here? Is it just a parade of smurf accounts gaming the system? Do you just not update MMR incrementally? Does anyone even read these posts or have you made this thread to just corner complaints into one convenient spot thats out of the way?

Losing continued over the 3rd consecutive day. All of my friends have now quit. Thanks so much.
 
I completed my ranked games the other day and it gave me the rank of Oracle III, which feels far too high and it really does not feel like I pull equal weight with my team. I am always bottom of the pile on the team I am on and feel bad for the team I get, as I always lag behind considerably on all stats, aside from assists, on occasion.

25604461 is one of the first games (non-ranked) I have played since getting Oracle III. This casual game I solo queued without friends to see how I'd get on. It remains very apparent that the match making system is broken and the weighting in the background for MMR is skewed. I am being repeatedly placed in games / matches with teams that are way out of my league. In the case of the above game, I was viscous, and bottom of the lobby along with Bebop on the opposing team. It was not fun to play, outside of a bit of early laning luck with Mirage, who was out performing me.

I appreciate that you wouldn't want to share the exact formulas for MMR calculation etc, but could we have some sort of feedback as to how MMR weighting and match making is being addressed? The fun factor of this game is starting to wear thin with how unpredictable it is. It feels as if a balanced game where contribution to the team feels equal with team mates and which isn't a total stomp in either direction is somewhat a rarity.

Correction, i just got my first voice restriction for a day for talking back to a trashtalker. I really said all i wanted and not regret it, but the restriction is only a day. So no, you don't get a week off right away, only if you offend consistently. Consider this tested i guess lol.

It starts at 2 days. It doubles each time. 4 days is enough to knock you out of ranked for a week.
 
1730299043391.pngagain a garbage matching , where my team played like its a casual match and enemies playing like they r in a party.
No wonder why active players are going down day by day

Just further to this earlier post, another 2 unranked games back to back.

25611337 - It was very one-sided and felt like our team was completely dominating. (They had a total of 17 kills at the end game, our team had 38). Did not feel fair on the enemy team at all. Whilst I certainly wasn't a main carry on our team, it even felt uneven to play as we were just winning every team fight and every push.

Immediately after the above game:

25616132 - Opposite way entirely. Our team put up a really good fight against the enemy team, but what was very apparent was that I am again in a lobby I have no place being in. Completely crushed in the laning phase by Greytalon and felt totally unable to assist the team. Got outclassed in laning by orders of magnitude and had very low economic power given how well Greytalon played with aggression and denies. I didn't feel like I was on equal footing with anyone on the enemy team, and whilst the game was closer than it should have been because of my team mates tenacity, it was overall another lopsided match where the enemy team crushed us by a considerable margin. Was evident I am not meant to be at this level of play, and felt like I had let the team down by being dead weight, comparative to them. (Yamato also seemed to be a lower rank player?)

At this point the matchmaking system being so unpredictable and poor at making even footed lobbies means that really there is no opportunity to provide feedback on anything else, because the burning issue that distracts from everything else is just how badly balanced the lobbies are.

I've played about 170+ hours in this game but why do I always get teammates who look like they just played? I almost always get haze/wraith who look like they just played, but when haze/wraith are on the enemy team, they always dominate.
